The verdict

Merrill Tool and Machine runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Precision turned product manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Merrill Tool and Machine: 1.3 TCR = 40% of Precision turned product manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Merrill Tool and Machine safety composite

Merrill Tool and Machine scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 89% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
